Patent GB-190825205-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Detachable Revolving Heels for Boots and Shoes
Inventor: WELSENAAR JOHANNES HENDRIK
Filed: 1908-11-23
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 25,205. Welsenaar, J. H., and Keijser, L. F. Nov. 23. [Patent of Addition to No. 24,094, A.D. 1904.] Heel protectors.-Relates to the invention described in Specification No. 24,094, A.D. 1904. A revolving heel 11 is detachably secured to a boot sole by means of a plate 14 having lugs 13 adapted to enter notches 6 in a plate 4 secured to the boot. The plate 4 has a central hole to accommodate the plate 14, and a circular spring 7, both ends of which are in the same plane, is riveted at one end to it. The heel is attached by twisting it relatively to the boot after the lugs 13 have been inserted into the notches 6. This brings the lugs 13 above the spring 7 by reason of the free end of the latter rising to allow them separately to pass. An upturned arm 8 having a hole 9 is arranged at the free end of the spring 7. The arm projects into a recess 10 in the boot sole normally covered by a plug. To remove the heel, a hooked member is engaged with the hole 9 and the free end of the circular spring pulled upwards therewith. Reverse rotation of the heel will then free it by bringing the lugs separately beneath the spring 7, which ejects them from the notches 6 when free.
Patent GB-190826564-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Printing Machines.
Inventor: EDWARDS ARTHUR ERNEST
Filed: 1908-12-08
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 26,564. Edwards, A. E., [Cox Multi-Mailer Co.]. Dec. 8. Addressing-machines.-In an addressing-machine for printing from slugs or lines of type, the slugs are fed along a guideway to a separating-device which takes a wide or narrow slug and raises it to print against a spring-mounted platen. An ejector then pushes the slug sideways into a receiving- channel, along which it is gradually pushed. Rods engaging with holes in some slugs operate electric contacts by which the machine is stopped or a town-marker is actuated. The slugs 21, both single and double and previously inked, are fed along the guideway 20 by a band 22 until they reach the face of a cam-operated lifter 26, notches 30 on which engage underneath the slug and raise it against the envelope 9G under the platen 97, while guards 86, 93, prevent the other slugs from lifting. A cam-actuated pusher 99 then slides the slug through a slot 24 in the side of the guideway 20 on to a raised platform 110, whence a pusher 111 pushes it past a retaining-spring 103 and along the receiving-channel 23. For dealing with double slugs, an auxiliary lifter 31 is attached to the lifter 26, and is pressed outwards by the spring 44. A projection 34 on one of the ledges on the lifter 31 is engaged by the narrow slugs, and the lifter 31 is thereby forced back so as not to project more than the main lifter 26. The double slugs, however, are cut away at one corner so as to miss the projection 34, and the lifter 31 thus remains projected and lifts the second slug ; also by the engagement of a catch 95 on the lifter with a hook 94 on a bar 92, the pivoted guard-piece 86 is moved back so as to allow the second portion of the double slug to be separated from the remaining slugs. In order to stop the machine when no slug is fed to the lifter at the right time, a spring- pressed rod 52 carrying an electric contact-piece 61 is prevented by the presence of a slug from moving to the left. The absence of a slug allows it to project and close the electric circuit to actuate a solenoid, which throws the driving-clutch out of operation. A similar rod is arranged at the side of the rod 52 and engages with holes in certain of the slugs when a town-marker, such as a stamping- device 85, is actuated to mark the first or last article of a particular series. Any other device for separating one batch from another may be operated similarly. A cam-operated forked lever 44 operates to hold the contact-rods and the auxiliary lifter in their inoperative positions while the slugs are charged.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Fixed-abutment type; cooling and heating parts.-Relates to improvements in the bearings, cylinder, and ports of an engine in which rollers, working in peripheral recesses in the piston, act as vanes. Roller bearings 7 for the piston shaft 8 are seated within the cylinder heads 2, 3, and a third bearing 7 is provided in a casing 32, which is secured by bolts to the head 3. These bolts, together with the bolts 4, 5 which secure the heads to the cylinder 1, pass through the steam spaces, which are formed in those parts, in order to obtain uniform expansion without strain. Creeping linings 31, 31<a> are provided in the cylinder and for the bearings to ensure evenness of wear. Steam, admitted to the chamber 14, passes through ports 16, 21 into chambers 19 at each side of the cylinder, and thence through ports 22, 23 into the cylinder 13, the ports 23 serving to admit steam into the drum recesses behind the roller pistons 30 to ensure contact with the cylinder lining. Steam exhausts through ports 24, 25 into chambers 20 at each side of the piston, and thence through ports 26 and the cylinder heads into the chamber 15, which is provided with a suitable outlet. The casing 32 may contain a governor or thrust bearing and provides a steam-jacket and steam lubrication by retaining steam-carrying oil which leaks past the bearing in the head.
